Going flat on reta

[lucasj782]

Just curious if anyone else has had this problem or has any solutions. Even in a slight surplus abt 3500-4k cals a day hunger without reta is ravenous. On reta .5mg eod hunger is at bay but pumps are horrible no matter the carb amount. Could have 200g carbs pre workout get a pump for my first exercise then flat again. I need a solution. Switch to cag? Try .5mg every three days? Genuinely can’t control appetite without absuing stimulants and hating my life without a glp. Hoping for any answers or just people with similar experiences I can’t find much on the forums about reta inducing flatness or moderate hypoglycemia but it makes sense that it would in a high carb state. Fasted glucose around 70-90 a1c 4.6 if that means anything. Just can’t find an answer really. Low dose reta totally changes my life the food addiction and ED is gone mostly but these workouts and flat looking physique is almost as bad

I'm sorry, not sure what came over me to dump all this, never really shared the entirety of this with anyone irl.

You're a real one for this man don't sweat it.

Don't mean this in a disrespectful way or because you just trauma dumped on the internet but some therapy (woah crazy word to drop in front of high testosterone men) would help I'm sure. Your brains been changed, its not your fault however it is your responsibility to fix it to help future you and your relationships. I'm sure it will also help you to make smart decisions when using the fun stuff we do.

I lost 130+ pounds and am told I look great, compliments from all over however I'm pushing 30 with no confidence to find a gf due to lifelong obesity and the inevitable emotional distraught you put yourself through while that size. Not really any answers or much of great advice in here for you just wanted to let you know you're not alone brotha!

Just to add some sort of relevant context to this thread I'm on 8mg reta, pumps are okay but nothing great; but I don't see why the need to drop something so beneficial just to feel 10% bigger for an hour of the day at the gym. Most likely goes back to something consciously for us.....
